Texting While Sewing

Amy from During Quiet Time is one of my favorite blogging friends. She is uber-creative! So when she came up with this contest called "Texting While Sewing," I really wanted to enter. It just involved a 12-inch block. How hard could it be?

I thought and thought, waiting for inspiration to strike. Nothing.

I drummed my fingers on my cutting table. Nothing. And then I had a lightbulb moment when I looked at my bags (and bags....) of selvages. Texting. I was inspired to make a little texting conversation between "me and my sister." Here is their conversation on the iPad. Feel free to do a little eavesdropping.

The entries have starting coming in, and will continue through Wednesday. There are lots of fun and creative entries.

Whatever the outcome, I had the best time making this block. It would make a great cover for my iPad, don't you think?

Fabuloso, my dear friend. I am amazed that you hold down a full-time job and still get your blogging done, AND play with your grandkids, AND have time to enter clever contests like this (and since I'm going backwards, I already know the outcome, but I won't tell). I think I'm going to bottle your energy, sell it for a million bucks and then we can split the proceeds and give up our full-time work.

Oh, and even though I forgot to comment on it when I was there, I was very jealous that you and Mark went up to King's Canyon and had a dinner out. Food just tastes better in a National Park. Dave and I went there on our sixth wedding anniversary, lo these many years ago. So why don't we all just get out of town more often? It really clears the brain, doesn't it?
